PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN:

B. Tech Project (August 2013- April 2013)

Development of Novel Bio-Compatible Lubricants Additives Using Ionic Liquids and Nanoparticles for

Enhanching its Wear-resistant Properties.

Supervisor: Dr. Harpreet Singh (Head of Department, SMMEE, IIT Ropar),

Dr. Narinder Singh (Head of Department, Chemistry Department, IIT Ropar)

The objective of this project was to develop a novel bio-compatible lubricants additives for various

wear applications. The project involved the integration of mechanical and chemical engineering. Due

to good tribological properties, strong boundary film formation capabilities and good bio-

compatibility, ionic liquids based additives were the preferred choice. The different ionic liquid basedligands were decorated with different nano-particles and tested for their tribological and chemical

properties. Wear mechanisms in each case was studied and additives were modified to decrease

specific type of wear mechanisms.

Summer Internship (May 2013- July 2013, DCM Engineering Ltd, Ropar)

Study and Prevention of Shrinkage Defects in Metal Casting Operations using simulation

Supervisor: Er. Rohit Raj (Assistant Engineer, Design Department, DCM Engineering Ltd.)

The objective of this project was to develop a new casting mould for sand casting of Cylinder Head

and Cylinder Block of IC engine of Avtec Ltd. The previous design was causing a lot of shrinkage

defects in the Cylinder Head and Block. The causes shrinkage defects in old design were studied

using MAGMA5 simulation software some modifications were suggested. Based on these suggestions

new simulation model was designed which reduced shrinkage defects almost by 30%. During Trial

run the earlier rejection rate of 10% was reduced to 4%.
